In the broader sense no one can easily recognize slant as such when they hear it if it agrees with their prejudices, but NPR news programming is very careful to present both sides of issues when there is controversy. Their affiliate stations have to support themselves in "red" states as well as "blue" states and NPR still receives considerable federal funding, which in the current political climate requires that they be pretty scrupulous about exhibiting bias. If you're so sure, why don't you give some examples? And not that silly thing about how they don't refer to Dubya as "President" Bush. You asserted that a ways back and it's a load of hooey. I've heard interviews on NPR with such as Hastert, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Perle among others and the interviews were respectful and non-confrontational. They DO report on dissenting opinion as well, but that's what balance requires. The problem is more likely that your worldview is so skewed to the right and so infected by verkrampt talk-radio that actual balanced reporting sounds like left-wing extremism to you. |
